How do you create and execute a business development strategy for a startup?
Start with measurable goals (1–3 months, 6 months revenue/MAU/partnerships) and target metrics (CAC, conversion rates, LTV). Then run this practical sequence:
- Define your ICP (industry, company size, decision‑maker, top 3 pain points) and craft 1–2 crisp value propositions tailored to them.
- Choose the highest-leverage channels (direct SDR outreach, LinkedIn, content+SEO, webinars, strategic partners) and pick 2 to test first.
- Build playbooks: 3-step outbound sequences, demo script, pilot offer (discounted trial or PoC), onboarding checklist, partnership one-pager.
- Execute fast experiments (2–4 week cycles): run outreach lists, A/B subject lines, one webinar, and one partner pilot. Track replies, demo rate, conversion and CAC.
- Instrument a simple CRM pipeline and dashboard; review weekly to cut failing tactics and double down on winners.
- Hire/allocate based on outcomes (BDR for outbound, AE for closing, Partnerships lead if channel works) and formalize revenue ops.
Keep cycles short and iterate with data. What stage is your startup and who is your target customer?
